Patient's question:
I had hepatitis B with a high viral load during pregnancy, and I still vomited for a month before giving birth. Now that I've had the baby, I don't vomit anymore. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms of chronic hepatitis B with high viral load. The main reason is that liver damage leads to an increased ability of the liver to excrete bile, which in turn hinders the full absorption of food and the normal supply of energy to the body. As a result, patients may experience a loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. It is recommended that you pay attention to your diet, get adequate rest, and maintain a positive mood. When chronic hepatitis B patients with high viral load experience nausea and vomiting, it is best to consume foods that are easier to digest. If these symptoms persist for a long time, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.There are several treatment methods for chronic hepatitis B, but the specific approach depends on the patient's symptoms. Therefore, it is advisable for patients to seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as they notice any symptoms.
